Objects of Desire

September 15, 2012 by Diana

First of all, I would like to direct your attention to the right side of this page. If you scroll down, past the announcements and look just past the e-newsletter sign-up, you will see a newly added feature to our blog! You can now plug your email address into that box over the “subscribe” button, click “subscribe,” then check your email. You should receive a notice from wordpress.com very quickly (check your spam folder if it doesn’t show up in a few minutes), then you just follow the directions in that email and, voila – you’ll receive blog posts by email as soon as they are posted! And there’s a button right at the bottom of the email when you get a blog post to click in order to comment on the post. It’s pretty cool. You should try it out.

Now, I’d like to direct your attention to Jamie…

Jamie’s love of boots shows no signs of fading. As we’ve mentioned before, her favorite pair switches frequently. Because I’ve had a cold, I haven’t been in the chimp house much in the last couple of weeks, so I wasn’t sure which pair were at the top of her favorite list. When I saw the tall wooden heel of a new pair, I suspected those were her current loves. I was correct, as you can see by the photos below:

    absolutely precious! it doesn’t take much to bring jamie and her friends happiness 🙂 … does she ever put them on or just admire and hug them?

      She does put them on. Here’s one photo of some custom made boots that Jamie put on: https://chimpsnw.org/2011/05/these_boots_wre_made_for_walkin/

    She certainly does love them—the look on her face and they way she is holding them 🙂

    What do you think makes them so attractive to her? I’ve been trying to figure it out. Those pictures are so sweet. Sweet Jamie. 🙂

    1. It be interesting to compare and contrast each of the seven’s “objects of desire.”

    2. Jamie looks absolutely adorable.

    I wonder if we could have some custom boots made just for her. Wouldn’t that be great!

      Jamie has been lucky enough to have some custom boot made for her! https://chimpsnw.org/2011/05/these_boots_wre_made_for_walkin/

    I too am curious as to the why…

    I can imagine that Foxie sees her missing babies in the faces of the Troll dolls (and Dora) but what do you think makes a boot so appealing to Jamie? It is the leather? (Does she react to rubber boots the same way)?

    • Diana says

      September 26, 2012 at 4:35 pm

      She does like rubber boots as well, but we do not give them to her because they are so easily torn apart and some of the chimps like to chew on rubber – we just don’t want to risk anyone ingesting it. I wish I knew what it was. I’ve known two other chimpanzees at two different sanctuaries who also really liked shoes or boots.
